The nervous system has long been an inspiration for the engineer. Here is an example in a popular textbook on neuroscience. When a person steps on a nail, the sensor in his foot sends a signal to his brain, the brain sends a signal to his muscle, and he lifts his foot. The example illustrates the sensor, actuator and processor in the nervous system.
IMATI-CNR and the Mathematics Department of the University of Pavia offer a postdoc position on isogeometric analysis. This research project focuses on the design and implementation of innovative isogeometric methods for solid/fluid mechanics. In particular the target applications are related to
- nearly-incompressible and fibered materials
- fluids in geological formations
This research project is partially supported by the private sector, and is supervised by Annalisa Buffa and Giancarlo Sangalli.

Is it possible to run Abaqus from a Java code? or is there any communication way between Abaqus and Java?
I want to simulate a simple problem and pass some info from Abaqus to Java code and vice versa.
Thanks,
The EST method -- http://www.e-uni.ee/e-kursused/estmethod/ -- http://digi.lib.ttu.ee/estmethod/ESTmethod.pdf -- is a general computational method, for solving boundary value problems for the structural analysis of frames, beams, and trusses. Differential equations are considered here together with a set of boundary conditions. Compatibility equations for joint displacements and equilibrium equations for member end forces at joints serve as boundary conditions.
